(Not) The official Barbara Strozzi

not to sound like a victorian woman suffering from hysteria but i do think going to the sea would fix me

It fixed me! But also killed my father. So, it has its cons

Hungarian composer Franz Liszt????

every opera production would be made funnier/possibly better if you had one of the characters give a powerpoint presentation

Litterally Leporello when he's explaining to Donna Elvira the statistics of Don Giovanni's seductions.

Because I'm only seeing other Jews posting about this, non-Jews I need you to be aware that for the past month or two there has been a wave of bomb threats and swattings at synagogues all across the US. They usually do it when services are being livestreamed. I haven't seen a single non-Jew talking about this. High holidays are coming up in a few weeks, which is when most attacks happen against our communities. We're worried, and we need people to know what's happening to us.

can white people stop boo-hooing about how they lost their favorite vacation spot because of the fires on maui? it’s vile. people lost their lives and their homes. no one gives a shit that your colonizing ass can’t go somewhere you were never welcome anyway

i want to clarify something because a lot of people in the tags seem shocked that people would really be so callous. but what you have to understand is that people are doing this in a way that probably to your average person just looks like them being “empathetic”. but it’s literally just tourists centering themselves. it’s in a way that’s almost like “i have laid eyes on the beauty of this place and therefore am more qualified to mourn its loss” and posting pictures of their vacations there. and it’s media outlets giving a shit about what tourists and colonizers think about this loss as much if not more than native islanders

Oh my god I’ll keep an eye out for fundraisers but my hometown is in flames.. they think it might all be gone.

I saw the pictures. Lahaina is burning down. Keep Hawai’i in your thoughts. I’ll post a fundraiser when I see veritable ones on Facebook from my friends.
